The Different Tiers Of Sales Transition Squad® Conducts
At Transition Squad®, we offer different types of selling solutions tailored to what each seller client has, how much they have and what level of assistance they need. This helps seller clients choose the package that is right for them.
Online Auctions
With an online auction, you set the price at an attractive level and people bid, or compete, for it. With each bid, the price goes up. The highest bidder at the end of the auction period is the winner.
Buy Now Online Sales
A Buy Now online sale is a multi-day sale that operates similar to an onsite, in-person estate sale. Items have a fixed, all-in price and it is first come, first serve. If you take your time to think about it, it may be gone forever because someone else bought it first. Transition Squad® Buy Now Online Sales decrease every day until a minimum price is reached, after which the price stays constant for the remainder of the sale period.
In-Person Estate Sales
An In-Person Estate Sale is like a big garage sale with many items available for sale. It is held at the seller's premises. Some sales will be open to the public, others just to our members. For most Transition Squad® managed projects, there is a combination of an online auction and/or buy now sale that includes some of the items available for sale but we also reserve many items for the in-person sale as well.
Do-It-Yourself Seller Managed Solution
This solution is ideal for those that have the time and ability to take their own photos, write basic descriptions and manage the pickup of items that have been won. It is a fair bit of work so you should have at least 30 lots of decent value to make this undertaking worthwhile. We only charge a commission for items we sell. If you can do a garage sale, you can easily run an online auction or sale. So, if you have the time and the ability to do the onsite work, you can save a lot of money and be guaranteed to make money on the sale of your items. This tier of service can be done anywhere in North America, where licensing permits.
Transition Squad® Fully Managed Solution
With this solution, we take care of everything. One of our Transition Squad® teams will come to your premises, work with you to decide what is for sale, pull everything out of the cupboards, set up "lots", handle photography, fill out descriptions, set pricing, conduct and advertise the auction or sale, and manage the pickup and an estate sale for items not purchased online along with items that were reseved for the estate sale. We provide a free phone consultation to go over your needs and help you develop a Transition Action Plan. Upon approval, one of our Project Managers will manage the entire process on your behalf. You don't even have to be there while all this is going on. This tier of service is only available where we have local representatives.
